Preventing water <br />pollution at your <br />connnercial/industrial site <br />Clean beaches and healthy creeks, rivers, <br />bays and ocean are important to Orange <br />County. However, many landscape and <br />building maintenance activities can lead to <br />water pollution if you're not careful. Paint, <br />chemicals, plant clippings and other materials <br />can be blown or washed into storm drains that <br />flow to the ocean. Unlike water in sanitary <br />sewers (from sinks and toilets), water in storm <br />drains is not treated before entering our <br />waterways. <br />You would never pour soap or fertilizers into <br />the ocean, so why would you let them enter the <br />storm drains? Follow these easy tips to help <br />prevent water pollution. <br />Some types of industrial facilities are required <br />to obtain coverage under the State General <br />Industrial Permit.
